SEVAS Field Trip: Orlando Wetlands with Chip Francke

OCT 31 Field Trip
ORLANDO WETLANDS with Chip Francke

A popular gem! Expect a nice array of passerines plus Purple Gallinules, Roseate Spoonbills, Whistling-Ducks, and maybe a Least Bittern. Bring a lunch and plan to return to NSB mid-afternoon. Walking includes a long boardwalk and other hiking trails on flat terrain; we plan to take one of
the park’s free Tram Tours into back areas.

Friday Oct 31, meet at 7am to carpool at the Edgewater Dunkin, 1812 S Ridgewood. We will return around 230PM. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, snacks, water, hat, dress for the weather. >> Bring a lunch, and bring a scope if you can.

Everyone is welcome to join us as we explore natural areas for birds. Arguably one of the best birding spots in the state. Birds, beasts and beauty is everywhere. 220 bird species and 63 butterfly species the Orlando Wetlands is a “must visit” for birders and wildlife viewers. Roosting spoonbills, herons, egrets, aplenty, plus alligators and more. Let's go!
